You travel for days and are taken to a large castle-like building called The Effidice. They accomodate you in rooms fit for royalty. Ooooh the luxury, though it might as well be prison.

You are all special they say, but how?

Profile

Name: Stella White

Gender: Female

Age (15-18): 16

Personality: She is quiet but loud, shy but outgoing, plain but wild. Kind of an oxymoron right? You won't see the outgoing side of her unles you truly know her. If she is quiet around you, you don't know her well. She could probably talk your ear off, but she is also a great listener. She doesn't trust easily, but she has her reasons for that. Just get to know her and you will understand.

Name: Elizabeth Sarah Black (goes by Eli)

Gender: Female

Age (15-18): 16

Personality: Eli is known to be the nature girl. She's hardly ever in town, so people don't know much about her since she's always outside, but she is very people-friendly. In other words, she's not shy by any means. She speaks her mind, and isn't afraid to do so, no matter what. She loves to laugh, and often times thinks her laugh is annoying, which usually keeps her from laughing. She lives alone, since both her parents died from a disease many years ago, wish is why she doesn't go home a lot. Often at times, she'll get really emotional thinking about her parents, and when that happens she just runs away so people don't see her weak.

Special gift: Controls water (all forms) She found out three years ago, while being attacked by a rabid mountain lion. She projected the water, as ice needles, from her palms, and impaled the lion in some key points, leaving it dead.

Likes/Dislikes: Like; playing guitar, writing, nature, swimming, all animals, bright colors, staring up at the sky to daydream, laughing, singing, and art
Dislikes; jerks, eating meat (it makes her sick), her laugh, people who freak out at the sight of animals, snobs, ghosts and people who think they're all that and a bag of chips.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Looking for love (yes/no): Yessir(:

Other: Has deep scars on her back from a mountain lion attack when she was thirteen. She's very cautious letting people see them since they're very obvious, as they cover every inch down her back almost, and extremely embarrassing to her.

I must join! I'll take a girl!

Name: Lakisha Andulas

Gender: Female

Age (15-18): 17

Personality: She is very quiet and does lots of thinking. She can be hard to be around due to sarcasm and strange, out of this world, remarks. She is actually a helpless romantic, though nobody knows it. She is quite calm on the outside, but can be an emotional wreck inwardly.

Special gift: She can create sight or sound illusions. She can only do one at a time though, and if she does it too much in one day she will black out. She has known about it 5 years before the effidice. and is becoming rather skilled with it.

Likes: Rain, lightning, nature, the forest, her cloak, snakes, hawks, roses and the stars as well as the sky in general as well as her daggar.
Dislikes: People who are squeamish around snakes, arrogance, and living in the palace.

Appearance: Imagine that with a scar running from her right eye to her cheek...and a cloak of course:

Spoiler

Looking for love (yes/no): Oh yeah!

Other: She's never found without her daggar, pen and paper. The daggar was taken from her, but she managed to sneak it back. It's hidden under her clothes. She has a shimmering white cloak with purple ribbon around the edges that she never takes off. She is also entranced by the forbidden wing and is plotting to get inside. The scar on her face is from a fight with a village boy after he tried to force her into marriage. She also has a pet viper named Claw who adores her more than any puppy adores their master.

Please specify in your profiles what the state of your gift is. Have you known about it all your life? Have you just found out from the Effidice? How far progressed are you?

LAKISHA

I pulled my daggar from my pocket and held it against the man's throat. I could see the fear in his eyes and the tremble in his hands. "Don't make me use it," I hissed.

"Easy. We aren't going to hurt anyone here. All we want is for the ones stated to come with us," he soothed.

My point exactly. I didn't want to go. I chuckled. "Your problem is that I don't want to go."

He sighed and raised his hand slowly, using it to push my wrist down, away from his throat. I didn't raise it again. No point in starting a fight.

"Lakisha, just go," my father whispered. Why was he doing this to me? Where was mother?

Claw hissed at the man and he tensed up. I chuckled. "Fine. I'll go. Hand over your only daughter to men you don't know." I muttered.

I followed the man and pocketed my daggar, pulling the hood to my cloak up so that it covered my eyes. My eyes always betrayed my true emotions.

STELLA

I was in the middle of washing father's workclothes when three men came around the back of my house and motioned for me to come over. "Get over here girl." I heard as I saw my father appear in the doorway.

"But Pa," I called, "I'm not finished the laundry."

I saw that flash of hatred in my father's eyes, a look I knew so well. "I don't care! I said get over here! I'm your Father, you listen to me 'ya hear?"

Gosh, did he always have to be so mean, of course he does. I am never to forget that he holds me responsible for the death of his one and only love. I stiffened up and silently walked over to my father and the strange men. The men looked nice enough, I didn't fear them, I feared him.

Father looked me straight in the eye, but I saw his eyes wandered to my brow for a split second. More specifically, my scar. His mark of pain he has forever left me with. I swear I saw a proud smile twitch across his face. He digusts me. Two words, that is all he said, "Goodbye Stella." No "I love you", no "See you soon", no emotion. How nice.

I followed the men with no second thoughts, only my first. Good riddance.

Elizabeth Black:

Eli sighed as she walked back towards town, a scarlet bird, which she had dubbed Crim, on her shoulder, and a lithe mountain lion, dubbed Sabe, walking at her side. At one time, she'd been terrorfied of the big cats, but after a while, she got accustomed to them again. As she walked, Crim twittered off a song, Sabe glaring up at her and growling lowly. "Sabe, stop it, Crim's not hurting anything." She laughed softly, pulling her forest green cloak up around her shoulders as the wind whipped at her, blowing her hair hear and there.

As she neared town, a man stepped out of the woods, eyeing her and her animals. "Miss Black?" She eyes him carefully, and nodded. "Would you please come with me?" She yawned slightly, and shrugged.

"Depends, may I bring my animals?" She raised and eyebrow, the man fearfully eyeing the huge lion.

"He won't attack will he?" He motioned to Sabe.

"Not unless he has reason to," she smiled, rubbing the lion behind the ear, which made him emit loud purrs.

"Good, they can come." She nodded once.

"Let me just get my st-"

"It's already all been packed. We've got a horse for you to ride all set up, and everything else. We must be quick." Eli sighed, for today she had hoped to be lazy.

"Alright, let's go, but I don't ride horses, I'm sorry." The man growled something, but obliged, leading Eli out of the forest.

Romeo Benvolio:

It was nice out today, if you could call it that. In my thoughts, the sun was way too bright for my liking, at least the roses in the backyard looked good. I sat on our back porch with my pencil and drawing pad, sketching the flowers that bloomed in front of me.
"Romeo," my father's voice cut suddenly yelled, "get in here, please!" I stood up slowly and fixed my shirt before walking inside.

Dad was standing by the fireplace, at least three other men that I hadn't seen in my whole entire life were taking up space on our sofa.
"Yes father," I said while never taking my eyes off the men. Dad sighed and wrung his hands together.
"These men...they say you're sick. They need you to go away." I laughed and shook my head, sitting my sketching materials on the table.
"Of, I'm sorry," I said to the men, "I feel perfectly fine." One of them stood and cleared his throat.
"No," he barked, "you are ill, abnormal. You're powers are dangerous. We need to-"
"Wait," I interrupted, "how did you find out about that?! Dad?" I turned to my dad who was now looking away from me, out into the garden. Tears lined his eyes.
"I had to. They gave me no choice." I bit my lip and turned towards the men.
"I'm not dangerous!"
"Son, we have to-" I conjured up a orange and threw it up a few times before sitting it on the table.
"How can that possibly be dangerous? I've never hurt anyone in my whole life!"
"Safety precautions." Another man grabbed me from behind and pinned my arms to my back. "Now, come with us. Resistance will get you handcuffed." They pulled me towards the door violently, I planted my feet on the ground, trying to stay put.
"Dad!"
"I'm sorry," he mumbled. They pulled me closer to the door.
"Dad! Please!"
"I can't do anything! I'm sorry, I have to go."

- - -

They threw me in the back of some van, I hit the floor with a loud thunk.
"Ouch," I mumbled. I looked around, realizing I shared the van with three others. "Oh! Excuse me, but hello."

Kalayan

It was a normal morning, at first. I was working on practicing with my fire- out of range of them, my stepparents, of course, until I heard a loud bang.

"Get out here," a man hissed. My step-parents stood, stoney, and watched as I was pushed into the van.

"Get your filthy hands off me," I hissed. "You have no right-"

The door slammed shut and I was left alone with four people. "What the heck is going on?!" I asked.

Elizabeth Black:

Eli looked over at the two guys who had recently been thrown into the van. Sabe growled lowly, circling them to study, which Crim chirped at the large cat rabidly. "We're being taken somewhere, isn't it obvious?" She smiled sweetly.

"And you're happy about that?" One of the four in the van asked, astonished.

"Well," she thought for a moment, "If you're sad you'll have the worst time there, right? So, wherever it is... we've got to try our hardest to be happy about it." She smiled softly and Sabe took his place beside her, laying his large, purring head in her lap as she studied the funny contraption they were in. She'd never seen something such as this in her whole sixteen years of life.

Romeo Benvolio:

"You're right," I said lowly. "Well, since were making the best of this situation, my name is Romeo Benvolio. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
"Elizabeth Black," the one that spoke earlier said. A few minutes passed in which I learned the name of my fellow van mates. Kalayan. Stella. Lakisha. "So," I started again, "does anyone know why they were thrown here? The only thing I know is that some man told me I was dangerous because of my power."
"You have powers too," Stella gasped.
"Yes," I said with a slight smile, "astral projection to be exact. Do you all have powers?"

STELLA
"I wouldn't call it a power...." I mumbled to the floor.

Romeo gave me a puzzled look. "So what would you call it? A gift?"

I let out a long sigh and tried my best to explain, "I don't even know what I am. Until recently, I thought I just had an amazing imagination."

"What do you mean? Your just smart? How did you get here then?" bombed Kayalan.

Ouch, that stung. "No, I'm sure I have just as much of a right to be here as any of you. I'm just not entirely how."

"Oh, no, no, no. I never said you didn't. I'm sorry, it didn't come out right." said Kayalan. "I'm just really curious of all of you?"

I smiled and said, "I am curious too, I'm sure everyone is." with that everyone in the van nodded. "No, I am not just smart. I just never really clued much into my power. I think I see ghosts and have all my life, I just didn't know they were ghosts."

"So if you didn't even know," began Kayalan, "how did the men know?"

"They have been watching the village," piped Eli, "I have seen them. We have been under constant surveillance. Has no one else noticed?"

Finally the quiet girl in the corner, Lakisha, spoke. She said, "I've noticed, I have seen this weird vehicle parked in the forest for 3 weeks now. Everyday when I walk by, it is always sitting there."
